W
e wish to express our sincere gratitude for the many kindnesses
evidenced in thought and deed, and for your attendance at this service.
Please join us for lunch and a time of fellowship at the church immediately
following the burial.
Lord, Make me an instrument of Your Peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow Love,
Where there is injury—Pardon, Where there is doubt—Faith,
Where there is despair—Hope; Where there is darkness—Light;
Where there is sadness—Joy. Lord, Grant that I may seek rather to
comfort than be comforted; To understand rather than to be
understood; To Love rather than to be loved.
For it is by giving that one receives, by forgiving that
one is forgiven; and by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
~St. Francis of Assisi
